Portabella Mushroom Burgers

Another cooking show idea. It turned out to be a hit.... with me and mom and dad. My brothers didn't like it so much - but maybe that's because it's healthy? :P

Portabella Mushroom Burgers

10-12 large portabella mushroom de-stemmed (or, as many as you want to make)
1 1/2 cups coconut butter (works so much better if it's not in the liquid oil form)
2 bell peppers
4 garlic cloves
1 lemon, juiced
a handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Step 1: Spread out the mushrooms upside down on a cookie sheet. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Chop/blend the last four ingredients in a food processor. Don't let it get liquid - just nicely chopped.

Step 3: Add the coconut butter in the food processor, and gently pulse. You should end up with wonderfully smelling paste-like stuff

Step 4: Put 1-2 TBSP of the paste on top of each mushroom and spread it out. You might have to use more or less on each, depending on how the paste divides up.

Step 5: Bake for 20-30 minutes until all the coconut butter has melted and the mushrooms are cooked. You can drain off the melted butter if you want, or just eat it like that.

They should look like this:



Enjoy! I made some homemade burger buns, added toppings, and here's what I got.
